Zabbix Agents for Solaris 10

| Comments

ZABBIX is an enterprise-class open source distributed monitoring solution. I use it at work and I like it very much. Today I needed the Zabbix Agent for Solaris10 for Intel and, as I still use version 1.4, I downloaded the precompiled agents binaries from Zabbix site. I’m writing this post because I found a problem!

The precompiled binaries fails to run with the following message:

Zabbix agent error on console

ld.so.1: zabbix_agentd: fatal: libresolv.so.2: version `SUNW_2.3' not found (required by file zabbix_agentd)
ld.so.1: zabbix_agentd: fatal: libresolv.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

Running the ldd on the zabbix_agentd will reveal the problem:

libresolv.so.2 (SUNW_2.3) is not bundled in Solaris10 but in Nevada (aka Solaris11): so the precompiled binaries were not built on Solaris10 but on Opensolaris. To overcome this problem I downloaded the Zabbix 1.4.6 sources and I compiled the agents with Sun Studio 12.

Here are my own binaries:

Use at your own risk and… enjoy!
